Fiorentina, The Midnight Coup - Kean's clause expired. Now, renewal and other deals.

Florence, July 16, 2025 – A statement was enough to bring smiles back to Fiorentina fans and banish the gloom of recent weeks. "I'm truly motivated to move forward. Fiorentina has always lent me a hand and helped me, now it's time to return with renewed motivation and always give my best for this club." Clear and decisive words, those spoken by Moise Kean during the 'Viola Carpet' event, sound like a definitive confirmation. Even the final day to exercise his release clause passed without incident, with Kean smiling on the pitch and cheered on by the fans. This epilogue marked a turning point in Fiorentina's summer: the risk of losing the striker has been greatly reduced, and now anyone wanting to snatch him from Fiorentina will have to negotiate directly with the club, starting with a baseline well above the €52 million clause that just expired. Now they look ahead, to a new chapter that is ready to be made official . The draft of the contract renewal is already on the table, with the Viola management and the player's entourage having been working on it for some time. The offer presented by Rocco Commisso is significant: Kean is ready to double his salary, going from €2.2 million to €4.2 million per season , with additional bonuses tied to personal and team objectives that could increase the figure to €4.5 million, also thanks to the tax benefits provided by the Growth Decree. The rest of the Viola transfer market has yet to take off, but with Kean's release clause filed away, it will be easier for Pradè and Goretti to move forward with other negotiations. Fiorentina's transfer strategy is clear: they still need a central midfielder and an alternative to Dodo on the right flank . Any opportunities that may emerge in the coming weeks will then be evaluated. Among the so-called "opportunities," the one leading to Sebastiano Esposito , who has long been on the Viola management's radar, remains active. The agreement with Inter is essentially ready, based on €6-7 million plus bonuses. However, negotiations are currently on hold. Cagliari have entered the fray in recent days, taking advantage of Fiorentina 's delays and delays. Marotta also preferred to postpone any communication yesterday, a sign that the situation is still not fluid. Fiorentina will need to free up space in attack. M'Bala Nzola is among the main candidates to leave the club: the player is being pursued by Genoa and Pisa , who however want him on loan, while the Viola are aiming for a permanent transfer. In the background, an offer from Saudi Arabia is currently on hold by the striker himself. In midfield, interest in Asllani is likely to remain. Fiorentina like the player, but the costs (€20 million) are high and negotiations are complicated. Like the one for Bernabé . Fiorentina may try to call Parma to see if the situation has changed since last week. But this isn't a heated negotiation at the moment. Parma also continues to like Sohm .

Meanwhile, the first prospective signing is now official: Fiorentina has acquired central defender Eman Kospo , born in 2006 and a Swiss Under-18 international, from Barcelona. The Viola club invested €400,000, plus a 15% interest on any future resale. Kospo, fresh from winning the Youth League with the Catalans, will alternate between the Primavera and the first team.
